Remove all detergent build up from your detergent dispenser.

Place your rug in a mesh wash bag to contain all the straps and buckles protecting them.

Machine wash your rug on a gentle delicate cycle using mild soap or a rug cleaning wash.

Do not use detergents or fabric conditioners as you risk compromising your Hosemate unique waterproof and breathable coating.
